Substitutions and Variations

Want to make this recipe your own? Here are some easy swaps and creative twists to match your taste and pantry staples:

Nut butter: You can easily add the peanut butter, use cashew butter, or try sunflower or seed butter for a nut-free version.
Flour: Prefer a different type of flour? You can use almond flour or flour instead of oat for a nuttier texture. Just be mindful of moisture levels.
Sweeteners: This recipe uses maple syrup, but feel free to try monk fruit, sugar-free maple syrup, or another refined sugar alternative to sweeten things up.
Protein: While this recipe uses EarthChimp chocolate protein, it’s also amazing with vanilla protein powder if you want a more classic chocolate chip cookie flavor.
Chocolate chips: You can swap regular chips for dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even mini PBfit powder bits for a fun twist.

With just a few tweaks, you can turn this into chocolate cookie dough, true cookie dough, or a classic cookie dough flavor that’s still totally edible and safe to enjoy raw.

Tips for Customizing the Recipe

This easy-to-make cookie dough recipe is incredibly flexible! Whether you’re craving a post-workout snack or just a sweet pick-me-up, here are a few ideas to make this recipe even better:

Add a dash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
Fold in mix-ins like dark chocolate, dried fruit, or chopped nuts for more texture.
Want more grams of protein? Just add the protein powder you like, chocolate or vanilla both work great.
Looking for a warm treat? You can also bake protein cookie dough into mini bites, just note that while this dough is perfect for a post-workout indulgence, we don’t recommend overbaking since it’s designed to be eaten raw like edible cookie dough.

These small changes make every batch feel new, and we can’t wait to try your variations!
